Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to negotiations for the release of hostages in his published "daily update" video, saying: "I will not give up until we get everyone back. I gave instructions to advance the negotiations because I identify a certain opening." The Hostage Families Forum responded that "families of male and female hostages are scarred by promises and statements not backed by actions and results. Each such statement throws them into emotional turmoil and stretches their already tense nerves. Prime Minister, prove that you are serious in your intentions and that your words match your heart. Announce today about sending a negotiation delegation to Doha as soon as possible."
